WINDOW-SASH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May -'7, 1907.

Application filed March 9, 1907. Serial No. 361,?09-

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ASBERRY PERTELL HARDEE, a citizen of the United States,'re.- siding in Milton, in the county of Santa Rosa and State of Florida, have invented in an inclined direction toward the outer,

edge of the rabbet. In such arrangements, it is necessary to employ several glaziers points to hold the glass in place as the putty,

2c when soft, is not sufficient for this urpose. The adhesion of the putty to the g ass and wooden frame is depended on to hold the putty in place, but this is often found to be insufficient and when the putty dries, it 2 5'- often separates and the glass becomes loose. It is also well-known that certain classes of wood cannot be used for making sashes inasmuch as no adhesion can be produced between the sash and the'putty, which will be suflicient to retain the putty in place and hold the glass firmly. Sashes have also been made in which the sash is formed around the glass with a rabbet which is of such construction that putty is locked in place when aprabbet extended inwardly from the outside of the sash to the plane of the seat and the seat was made much wider than necessary to accommodate the glass, leaving a space between 4 the edges of the glass and the walls of the groove to receive putty. VVhile in this con-v struction the putty was securely locked in place, care wasnecessarily taken in centering the glass in order to leave a clear space on the seat around the edges of the glass.

According to-my invention I form'a sash with a rabbet the inner wall of which provides a self-centering seat for the glass, while the side wall of the rabbet is provided with a groove of greater width than the thickness of the glass and which. extends outwardly from the centering edge of the seat. is adapted to receive putty and lock it in place but the seat for the glass which istheinner wall of the rabbetis made of sufficient dim ensions only to receive the glass and does pliedf In this construction, however, the

The groove 3 not extend beyond the edges thereof. The bottom wall of the groove extends outwardly in an inclined direction from the edge of the seat or from the extreme edge of the glass when thelatter is in place. In this way a space is left all around the edge of the glass in the groove to receive putty and to iIlSlllG the locking of the putty in the groove but the glass can be easily centered and there is no danger of that portion of the groove at either edge of the lass being closed by animproper placing of t hef glass.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows ;,a front elevation ofa window sash embodying my" improvements. The remaining figures are on an enlarged scale.

Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section on the line 22 of Flg. 1, of the sash embodying one form of my invention. Figs. 3 and 4 are s1milar views of modifications. Fig. 5 is a'view on an enlarged scale and inhorizontal section of the construction shown in Fig. 4.

lower rails, A and B, and the stiles, C, may be. of any suitable constructionand made of any suitable wood. It is formed with a rabbet, D, of the usual for'mits inner wall providing a seat, d, for the glass, X. The outer edge of the seat, (1, registers approximately with the outer edge, (1, of the rabbet, but some clearance is provided in order that the glass may be easily inserted.

In Figs. 2. to 5 of the drawings, I have illustrated a groove,E,formed in the side wall. of the rabbet around the glass. This groove is so formedv thatthe putty may enter within the flange, (Z and also may extend around the edge of the glass. By this construction, when the putty is set, it will be The sash, consisting of the upper and locked in place and even though there be no adhesion or only slight adhesion, it cannot separate. As thus far described, the construction of the sash is. similar to one already in use, with the exception that in the prior construction theseat for the glass was much wider than that employed by me and the glass could be moved'sidewise to a considerable extent and so could. not always be conveniently centered.

. It will be observed by reference to Fig. 2, that the wall of the groove E commences at the extreme edge, as, of the seat, d, and extends outwardly therefrom in an inclined direction. In this way, a stop or shoulder is formed at as, which prevents theglass fro-iii moving either sidewise or. up and down sad yet a space, ;1;, is provided all around the edge of the glass to receive putty. Therefore, by my improvements, I am enabled to oining a straight Wall, :17". This form of groove can be easily made by ordinary inaclnnery and is efficient. I

' In Fig.3, the groove, E, in cross section is angular, While in Fig. 4, the groove 'in cross section is curved, but the groove terminates i inside the outer edge of the rabbet. By this latter construction, some putty is saved but the locking operation is the same.

The construction may further be modified without departing from the novel feature of my invention, an essential feature of which is so forming the groove E as to provide a space between the edges or the glass and the Walls of the groove as to receive putty while at the same time centering the ass and venting lateral movement thereof.

In Fig. 3 of the drawings, a. thin, sharp edge is formed. at 3 which is apt to-break, while in Figs. 4 and 5 the frame is braced at 7 by reason of that point and there is very little liability oi breakage even when ,the' sash is roughly handled.

I claim as my invention:

A window-sash formed with a rabbet, the inner wall of which provides a self-centering seat for the glass and the side wall oi which prehas agroove of greater width than the thickness of the glass, extending outwardlv from the centering edge of the seat.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
